Why you should consider Web Assembly in your next frontend project
summary
WebAssembly delivers near‑native speed and more consistent runtimes than JavaScript and lets teams reuse existing C/C++/Rust libraries in the browser. The workflow shown compiles Rust -> wasm using the target wasm32 and generates JS glue with wasm-pack + wasm-bindgen, packages via npm, and loads with WebAssembly.instantiate. Demos include a numeric add “hello world” and a working Game of Life demo (real‑time, togglable cells), plus DSP and AutoCAD viewers; performance wins are clear and packaging to npm succeeds.
